@shrewd totem is it we must launch the armada before the aalliance milestone only can we get all the reward?
solid rampart
Starts chanting ‘fight fight fight fight ‘
shrewd totem
@edgy juniper no idea. Event description doesnt say you must🤷♂️
solid rampart
Btw I think the scoring mechanic for the armada event is not correct I participated in one lvl 23 armada so far and launched zero. I have 1880 points
shrewd totem
Because it is alliance event?
south arrow
Alliance event is only 1000 points
teal jackal
Reading is hard
solid rampart
Huh? I’m talking the event points received not the Total needed
It should say 10 points per directive spent then
I just launched one and got over 1000k added
shrewd totem
It is an ALLIANCE event
Everyone who starts or wins an armada in your ALLIANCE will score
solid rampart
Right nvm then 😆

As with many events recently, i want the rewards, but find what i've got to do them not in any way fun or interesting. So i'll continue whining into the void on here and get on with it.
shrewd totem
Armadas is a nice way to get more unc and ship bps+ speed ups. But it needs a lot of improvements to be a good/fun thing to do everyday
earnest hornet
they have rare armada directives in these rewards, its amazing
winged tulip
to ask everyone to do 10 in one day is a plan worth of baldrick.
earnest hornet
no 9
shrewd totem
We need more directives,shorter cooldowns,ability to chose timer,higher lvl armadas for lvl40+ people,armada packs needs a better scaling etc etc
winged tulip
9 if you win 5. 10 if you're launching and abandoning like most of the server.
earnest hornet
wow really? what a waste

We did update those charts ....
shrewd totem
We wont get all those changes in a day but they do improve armadas.For example ability to star players,extra chest for leader. They do improve and one day we will get a perfect armadas but need to be patient

Armada spawn rate is way too trash to have an event like this. 👎

Armada spawns when ? Once a day?

This is the first photo. There wasnt anybody else when i launched.
This is the second photo. Launching an armada event without giving an increased spawn of armada targets at least at armada events. Well im done with this event gonna play another game.
Here is another one..
vital cape
So aside from spawn rate, it's pretty much b*** that I can't see how my alliance mates ships are crewed (because I can't attack them?). How am I supposed to optimize an armada without knowing who the captains are and what bonuses I'm working with?
It doesn't actively break the game but it sure makes it a lot more work
winged tulip
you're supposed to agree this in advance when you see an armada up that other alliances haven't started yet (lol)
gusty glen
Help!!! Everytime I start an armada it only then shows someone has already started one before me. I've wasted 200 uncommon armada credits because of this lag

@vital cape Maybe talk to them and discuss it ahead of time?

That's hardly an excuse for not including a critical tool...

manic stag
This is the 1st time I've felt the need 2 complain about anything in this game but the armada event is a joke! I'm basically throwing away directives just 2 complete my solo.
This event should actually be really good, increased team activity, decent rewards plus the pack rewards but the spawn rate makes it a total joke and most won't be able 2 get near completing it
winged tulip
I think regardless of spawn issues it's bad by design - i shouldn't feel compelled to stockpile enough directives to start 10 armadas just in case an event starts
vital cape
The whole spend 400 directives to get 60 is a bit weak too.
Prizes should be a net benefit, not a drain
drowsy viper
Shitty event, as people say, armadas are great for teamwork and instead, you get people not wanting to waste their directives for a bit of trit
vital cape
At least they didn't tie them to outlaw points or we'd all be furious
drowsy viper
I’ve done Borgmadas and at least the only problem is that it was extremely boring, but... this? This is one of the worst day for events I remember. Seriously, even data mining is okish
We’ve saved tons of directives in anticipation of an armada event and we’re extremely disappointed
I wouldn’t even mind the low respawn rate as I can space my armadas if necessary. But the bug is literally impossible to deal with
young bluff
#worst event ever...scopely can't keep up...start one with no one on it and even after refreshing the system twice, you start an armada only to find out you are 4th in line.

Oh look an empty armada I'll start it....nope
Not empty. Reset app and everything to make sure before I started, was empty till I started the armada, then the others popped up. Wasted armada flags

This is hard enough but two glitchy events one with nodes being occupied, one with armada flags not loading

Kevin the hamster has been working very hard developing this event for you guys hidden away in a scopely cupboard. It was the best he could do considering the fact that most of the junior developers where sitting on their back sides at home. The least we could do is to throw some more money into scopely coffers.
lapis harbor
Hello can’t attack armadas if there aren’t any to found
earnest hornet
but also note, some people are just starting the armadas just to get the starting points with no intention to actually do it. cos just starting it gets you your points for the event, so they aren't wasted in a sense, just ofcourse you dont get the Credits from it.
Hello can’t attack armadas if there aren’t any to found

As an aside...
Players: "Why did Scopely make the data mines so small? I go through them too quickly"
Scopely: Slows down the mining rate
I mean, did y'all smile while hoisting that particular finger?
@median slate thanks. Now I want to hit a rare target with a Realta just for fun. I can't unsee this.
shrewd totem
That would actually be fun🤔
vital cape
"Realta Armada" would be a fun pop-up event. Unlimited raid size, transwarp realta exemption. Points for taking down the biggest targets you can.
Be like nibbling a base to death with a swarm of ducks.
summer pecan
Wasn't that done already in the borg arc?
vital cape
There was, in fact, a Realta mission. That is true.
summer pecan
It was more trying to kill a mega cube when all you could do was scratch the paintwork
vital cape
I can't be all negative here. I appreciate the use of armadas in an event. More of this please, just minus the issues. I'm glad G3 nodes have been increased but with so many players trying to find the 7000+ gas to level a Centurion lately, the refining conversion rate is going to cost the game valuable players. AUG space access opening up was a great move but the resetting the decoded node 167 times to complete my event has no joy in it. Kind of puts the FU back in fun.
Happier with the effort than the current results.
summer pecan
Not enough armada targets though. We have alliances launching 28m uncommons and not attending. Seems a bit pointless. Would be great if the respawn rates were increased.
vital cape
that has been the main complaint, yeah
I think the other big one is that armadas don't always spawn in quickly enough so you'll spend directives, then the existing one loads up, and the directives are just gone. No refund.
Like... why even let me do that? Am I betting that their armada will fail and trying to get in line for the end of the health bar?
Seems an uncommon use case
Most current RoE setups don't allow attacking groups setting up an armada so it's a wasted mechanic
(also per my previous comment - 167 node resets at a generalized 20sec per 750 rate is 56 minutes of resetting a mining node)
summer pecan
Agreed, but Scopely still want you to fight for it
vital cape
At some point it's important to look at the way players are actually using the product, not how you expected them to do so. Lately Scopely has proved they're willing to consider it with giving us back faction locks.
This is one of those areas where it's going to matter if they want to increase armada events and usage.
summer pecan
No arguments there, but I feel that the copious bugs in the game are driving people away more. We see very few of those being fixed.
hollow fossil
They want us to mass PVP, but for what gain? If we pvp we have more costs to the huge repair cost/time to the ships. So the advantage as a player is 0
vital cape
Point ^
When it takes half a day to repair your ship without speed ups, and repair takes out the entire drydock vs just the ship, and the ship takes thousands of G3 and G4 to build anyway, which takes weeks to refine at current rates... there just aren't a lot of players with the time/money/patience or all three. We loose good people.
summer pecan
More PvP means you are more willing to buy upgrade packs to get one over on the guy who just wiped the floor with you.
hollow fossil
only in Scopleys mind
summer pecan
Also, if you complete the game in a couple of months there is less chance for revenue from players. Its in their interest to keep you as long as possible.
vital cape
Sure, there's the carrot and the stick. That approach is too much stick. As a designer you gain more by aiming for the middle of the bell curve and taking less off the top
This game wins on the fact that it's just the best ST game out there at the moment, other than STO, which is pretty long in the tooth.
If Scopely wants to survive the next wave of games with any goodwill intact, it's worth thinking more about the average gamer vs the one who fits your ideal budget class (time or cash)
And that's just me not wanting to keep replacing level 35s with level 15s due to attrition out of the game entirely.
modern estuary
armada events have to be the most pointless event ever. 1. respawn times are far too slow 2. the players at the begining of the event have a massive advantage over those that have to work cos by the time they finish work all the armadas are dead and waiting the incredibly long respawn time 3. why not put armadas in every single system so there are enough to go around during events? 4. reduce the cost of starting epics from 500 to 250 so more players can actually do them. 5. so many alliances just start and abandon armadas to get the points seems like a waste of directives
formal stag
cooldowns are way too long for armadas respawning. everything is like dead now
formal stag
i guess next time i'll know the epic armada chest doesnt have cooldown. so ill just save all my epic credits and go balls to the wall next time there is an armada event

Hostile hunt with points for using a Jelly, but no Jelly for sale... was also funny.

if they wanted people to spend, they would make it like the borg armadas. fast respawn. fast setting time, easy to find what you want. everyone would be happy and clap
proud solar
Little underwhelmed by today's offerings... Domination (yay🤦🏻) for outlaws, Armadas we can't find & /or get stooged on by lag(look no flags, oops now 4flags... 30+secs in front of m🤦🏻🤦🏻) & ring around a data node, oops reset, clear cache, clear cache, reboot, next node... 🤔🤔🤔
vital cape
Yes, @proud solar. 57 minutes of draining, add about 8.5min for resetting that many times (171) and it's over an hour of back and forth. As I said earlier, it really puts the FU back in fun.
I sincerely hope we'll see a directive refund of some sort as well
high roost
It's quite simple just rebel and don't do them it's not as if your getting a massive amount of resources or a full ship out of it. When they see there is no purchases of directives they will increase the spawns
hollow fossil
My alliance didn't even twitch at the armadas
proud solar
🖖😎 Lag & flags popping up after you've launched showing shorter timers is definitely a directive stooge. If they intended us to battle, give us th choice, this is just forcing pvp & inciting meltdowns & all manner of unpleasantness, backwards leap in players gameplay & state of "contentment"... Just illustrated how broken gamestate is... Even the mindless ring around the data node is crashing
undone lance
It’s not like they did not get taken to court in 2019 at the pace they are going I see them in court in 2020
What would be nice is to have a visual bridge for each ship it would not be to difficult to do either
brisk sonnet
You'd think they'd figure out how to increase the Armada respawn rate for an Armada event... (Borgmadas) weren't an issue
fringe owl
They'd make more money too. Why would I buy a pack when there are no targets to blow up?
robust vapor
Well it's only 3 minutes lag if you were watching it for 3 minutes before launching and then found it was started 3 minutes ago, but yeah they really need a better system than this 😬

Coming soon Armadas!!! The Fix
Should be about a year from now.
It took them a year to release what someone coded in an afternoon.
But that’s all a smoke screen for how bad the in game economy is.
merry fulcrum
You really think it'll take a year to fix Armadas?
Tbh I think they could easily do it, just buff that fill ship drop rate a bit and tweak the uncommons drops and increase them
Plus lower cool down times on chests
shrewd totem
That wont fix anything
There will be still shortage of directives,cooldowns will be still long and bugs will remain
So how is that a fix?
worn vortex
much better xD
robust vapor
That's not fixing it, they're intentionally designed that way..
They need to increase directives available to be earned, reduce cooldown on Armadas, and find a way to indicate reliably that another Alliance has already started an Armada..
shrewd totem
And fix the bugs
Dont forget that part😅
There are still stuck armadas in our server
robust vapor
I don't do them to know what bugs still happen 😂
shrewd totem
I can live with the bugs if they decrease the cd and increase free directives though
robust vapor
Most could, might even encourage PvP more than currently. Interrupt an epic armada and it'd be a huge deal 😬
shrewd totem
Yeah
modern estuary
badly needed is reduce respawn times event is garbage in its current state
most servers have rules for rares/epics not to interfere as they cost rl money
shrewd totem
That wont fix it fully either. Yes will have more armadas but who cares when you dont have directives?
They need to do all 3 stuff Order mentioned at the same time
modern estuary
yes we have broken armada nodes too
its simple 1. respawn times are far too slow 2. the players at the begining of the event have a massive advantage over those that have to work cos by the time they finish work all the armadas are dead and waiting the incredibly long respawn time 3. why not put armadas in every single system so there are enough to go around during events? 4. reduce the cost of starting epics from 500 to 250 so more players can actually do them. 5. so many alliances just start and abandon armadas to get the points seems like a waste of directives so make it so you have to actually kill them
hoary lichen
6days of base shield blown up due to the glich fest that is the data mining event....
modern estuary
did you attack someone?
hoary lichen
Apparently
modern estuary
lol i have a spare ac for that haha do data mining with one ac the swap with the other once done keeps the data nodes unblocked
just dont put both ac in same alliance
hoary lichen
These events are designed to drain your armada credits, or "accidentally remove your shields"
modern estuary
data node gets stuck send alt to clear it and vice versa
if you only have 1 ac on the server just attack the node if you cannot see a ship on it your shield doesnt drop and you get the node and no ship is actually killed
it is a workaround for scopely's poor coding/server performance
hoary lichen
Riiight... so I have to gamble with my shields.
copper bison
I wish they would of opened back up borg armadas for this event.
modern estuary
my shield has never dropped once doing it
hoary lichen
And my 6day shield just randomly dropped... thats some ace updates 👍
modern estuary
i even use my alt to clear borken nodes for my alliance members when they get a stuck node they call for my i send alt to clear the system of broken nodes and we all go back to data mining
if you use discord voice on your discord server its very easy to do it
no need to stop and type just call out on comms my node is stuck and send an alt to clear it
just make sure the alt is not in your alliance
hoary lichen
I'm sorry, I thought I was paying them to update-- at least semi smoothly.
And or pay for it??
modern estuary
alt ac is free
its upto you if you want to spend on it, mine is already lvl 27 and i only bought the prime packs for it
havent bought any other pack
when it needs rss for upgrades i just use the main to open bases for it to raid
hoary lichen
I market a product, and its less than subpar... you buy said products.
But hey you don't have to pay for it!
modern estuary
you dont
its a free to play game but they didnt say its an easy game to play if you dont pay
yes its buggy but we all have to deal with it paying or not
hoary lichen
This is not about paying. This is sub standard service. That's gliching you out of your time.
And or monies
young bluff
I give up trying to mine data...this is unplayable
These events today have been horrible.
abstract gate
Data mining is quick if you can find a node that isnt glitching... And doesnt glitch on you in process
Armadas is the biggest joke. Spawn rate are trash, so it's impossible for anyone on a high pop server to finish event
The combination of glitchy node event, crappy spawn rate event, and spend money event is emphasizing all of the games shortcomings all at once though
So slow clap for scopely 👋👋👋
sage crow
What's up with armadas not showing flags for ones that an alliance already started? So i start mine come to find out another alliance already kicked it off before me but no flag showing. so now i wasted directives.
abstract gate
@sage crow old news. That glitch has been around since armadas started
sage crow
first time i've ever seen it
abstract gate
It's been a regular issue on server 32, look for those purple circles
sage crow
there were no ships there when i started it or else i would have noticed
i have done many armadas...new or old they should not have this event if there are issues like this
also agree with the crappy respawn rates of the armadas during the event. It'd be great to add a start button that the leader can use to kick off the armada instead of having to wait around for the countdown to finish.
marsh lagoon
This armada event sucked scopley. Like others have said, losing directives, especially rare directives because no other alliance flags were showing when starting an armada is a crock of crap. Do better. Replace lost directives. Your fault, not ours.

Do borg armadas count ?

Ya this event is ridiculous
All they had to do was put them on instant respawn during event.

Sad planning but what else is new
By the time I start only seen like 3 left. An 18 mil a ten mil and a 520k ish lol . What a bummer for most players. Hope your listening Scoply.
upper knot
Server 14 defeated scopely today with the armada event. Nearly all the top 30 or so alliances just launched every armada we could find simultaneously. We had 4 flags going on every armada. Nobody fought anybody. We all just burned directives to get the points for launching and nobody cared about actually defeating the targets.
quaint elm
Nice teamwork
unique quiver
Pretty much what has happened on server 31 as well
Pathetic attempt at an event by Scopely & 7 second data mines again to boot
quaint elm
But even doing that.
Your pretty much cheated out of rewards you should have received for winning the armadas
So still sad planning via scoply
upper knot
Most of us have so many armada credits we can't spend them
quaint elm
Ah long time players
Well it sucks to be newish as always
Hard to keep playing when they repeatedly show they dont care a bit
upper knot
I don't think the issue is if they care or not there is just so much going on it's impossible to keep up. So many players are at different points in the game that making balanced content for everyone is nearly impossible.
sudden depot
At level 40+ you no longer get directives in the daily rewards. I can only get directives pay to play. How is it fair sub 40 get to play for free? <@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532>
teal jackal
Pretty sure they expect if you spent the cash to get to level 40, you can afford to buy an Armadas pack or 10. 😎

It is a known issue
muted frost
Hey, have you guys implemented a bug to the ARMADA EVENT? Always, when starting an armada it’s already occupied by another alliance. And that was not shown before. It seems you are making fun of us gamers.
...and the data nodes are also full of bugs. Always the get broken when trying to refresh. I think it has to do with rapid mining on nodes with too small capacity. I want back big data nodes!
abstract gate
@muted frost this bug has been around for a really long time
You’re more likely to notice it now it’s much busier though
muted frost
@abstract gate Yes, I know! But why don’t they do anything to fix this problem? No interest, or don’t they have any idea how to fix? Ignorants or just pseudo programmers? 🤔 And about the much more busier atmosphere: Well, it is. But if data nodes always get broken after refresh, it’s annoying. Fun of playing gets lost. But probably, FUN is not what scopely wants. THEY JUST HAVE FUN WITH OF THE GAMERS!
abstract gate
Starting 10 dummy armadas just to get points because all that can be found are either way too strong or already flagged...yeah super fun scopely, thanks....🚮
Stop trying to make armadas a thing...go back to the drawing board and rebuild the entire concept from the ground up. Borg armadas was a good start: multiple targets, fast respawns and shorter timers. Feedback on borgmadas was largely positive (with regards to the 3 previously stated pro's) so start there and actually listen to the feedback you're getting. Scrap the current armada format and re-use the borgmada assets if you have to. As a stop gap solution while you get your 💩 together it'll do.
fleet ridge
I mean if those armadas had the respawn time of the Borg armadas i personally would be okay by it - but this rn is just straight up bs
grave rapids
@abstract gate same here on server 153, people start armadas over another to get the 100points, because there are no uncommon in the whole galaxy.
abstract gate
Yep...having data event alongside armadas is the absolute height of stupidity too. I'm all for the small nodes and fast refreshing (on decoded at least) but the constant babysitting needed is anathema to joining, running or searching for armadas.
I made the mistake of doing data first last night and by the time I was done the galaxy was empty of all uc armadas and most rares and epics too. All that was left after the hour data took me were impossibly strong uc's (lvl39+) and the occasional respawned low lvl uc with 2-4 alliance flags surrounding it already.
This isn't fun or engaging content, this is literally just wasting our time (and in some cases money too). For all the entertainment value this has given us you could have just as easily destroyed all our ships at reset and had a repair event.
60% of all armadas started in my alliance have ended like this.
Do the right thing and cancel any future armada events until you fix the fundamental flaws.
For the players I say this: do not buy armada packs until they fix these issues. They might not listen to us here but they will damn well sit up and take notice when their projected sales take a nosedive.
grave rapids
I sign this
hollow latch
How could you launch an aramada event, without increase the number of aramada?
fleet ridge
@grave rapids Same here
And the amounts u have to do is just ridiculous
@median slate yes exactly - and the ones who didn’t save up all the directives are just lost
abstract gate
Yeah we announce our "fake" armadas right after starting one to avoid the apathy that sets in
Doesn't help when there's 3 invisible flags already on a "legitimate" target though...
Honestly the only thing you have done right is to not make it part of the main outlaw event.
We could do this all day...
Stupid event, not enough targets
graceful vessel
Decrease respawn time like at least 50% and it might be doable.
abstract gate
Shit event. Armadas nowhere to be found. And when you find an empty one there are bugs that don’t show another armada already started = wasted credits. Seemed a cool event at first, but it’s really not...
graceful vessel
We are forced to waste the directives anyway, since there just isn't enough of them. Like stated above.
dull wraith
not enough armadas, not even close, people are starting the same high ones or armadas that are already started just to get points, those armadas that get cancelled should be refund, rewards on uncommon are not worth pvp-ing around em and the higher ones are too expensive to start, armadas could be a big part of this game, and they are just so so at best of times now
abstract gate
Mega disappointed in armadas challenge
1 not enough armadas
2 don't refresh quick enough
3 GLITCHES - don't show up others doing armadas until you have spent... No WASTED!!! Armada credits

round ocean
The event in itself i like, the respawn time and buggy flagging of taken armadas marr it though
spiral forge
i didnt red what already written but really we have two stupids event atm :
- data mining : spending one hour or more, to mine/quit/mine every 10 sec just makes you stupid
- armada : what a joke, nobodys really participate in the fights, we just launched it, its kind of comic
i really like the augment revamp they ve made, but these two events are really 🤮
if i could change : data, make the biggest decodated nodes at 50k, not 3.7 k, and armadas : put more respawn

Data is fine as a standalone event...combining it with literally any other activity is dumb af though. The amount of babysitting needed is anathema to doing literally any other activity
And god help you if you plan to be competitive in the lb's
dapper nest
Mm still have 7K directives saved will continue to save them for a later day impossible to find an armada that ca be done
jaunty sonnet
Oy Scopely! Is there a single person on your development team that might have had the thought that maybe with these targets you should increase the number of armada targets? Or anyone with any form of common sense?
A. Yes, B. No, C. What?
devout talon
I believe they designed armadas to encourage pvp, i.e. people killing each other to secure a higher target.
They just don’t realise that most of us won’t do that. We don’t care enough given the little rewards
novel hollow
One thing definitely proven over and over is Scopelys valuation vs players valuation are far apart
But someone did buy the augment icon on our server.
south arrow
I don’t understand why people are stupid enough to waste armadas credits for a daily solo armada event with crap rewards
novel hollow
Because I like trit and uc crystal.
south arrow
It’s like 25 uncommon crystal and small amount of trit just a waste of effort
novel hollow
I’d do a lot less for 25 uc crystal.
winged tulip
Armadas are simply not worth pvping over - the chance of retaliation later and limited directives makes it very short sighted to battle over them.
novel hollow
Agreed but who battles for them? Almost every armada I was involved in had 4 flags. Start ten get your points move on, I was lucky I found 5 or so that I was first.
shrewd totem
Uncommons are okay to fight for
Rares and Epics not that much because they are super expensive and rewards arent worth it
novel hollow
Well if it was a decent uc maybe but with 4 flags and dying and flight time you better win
shrewd totem
If they decreased directives needed for armadas by 10x I think the PvP stuff they were expecting would happen a lot more
1.Decrease directives needed by 10x or give 10x more free directives.
2. Use the cooldowns you used for Borgmadas
3. Let us choose the timer
4. Fix the bugs
If all of those done,we would have had perfect armadas
novel hollow
Uc armadas rewards should give uc directives and the 7 day cool down eye roll
shrewd totem
I dont have a problem with rewards of armada packs. They helped me a lot to get my Augur and other ships
7 day should be 3 day at max
Would love to have no cds at all but then people would get stuff a lot faster and I dont think that would help Scopely's profit plans
novel hollow
Yeah my logic has always been you get rare directives in uc chests epic directives in rare chests but no way to earn uc directives except store, slow as heck in dailies or 7 day cool down. So why not have some in uc chests
shrewd totem
I have 5kish unc directives sitting in my inventory 😅
inner glacier
We heard and saw already, that moderators get extra gifts by scopely.
Once a moderator on our server opened a rare aramda like 30times in a row.
robust vapor
Not enough obviously, I've got 8405 uncommons directives 😉
inner loom
You’re telling me mods put up with all the poo flinging in these discords and all they get are some directives? So jealous.
inner glacier
And other stuff.
shrewd totem
Well we dont get stuff 🤔
robust vapor
I must be getting them all instead 😆
shrewd totem
I want a ModEnterprise 😢
novel hollow
Yes I have a few (3800) as well but mostly because there’s not been an armada event in forever.

Biggest complaint about armada event is no double rare chests like before.

@inner glacier There is another Mod on your server?! 30 times is a lot
jagged nimbus
Is it correct that in the data mine event if you finish 4th - 10th you get 9M dil tokens yet if 3rd, 2nd or 1st you get 1M, 2M or 4M dil tokens respectively?
Id rather the extra dil over the avatar, etc 🤷♂️
meager galleon
@jagged nimbus What Ops level are you?? 40+ I guess ?
jagged nimbus
ops 35
meager galleon
Strange - after a restart it still shows those Dil rewards ?
jagged nimbus
Yeah been like that since event started
meager galleon
I’m 39 and places below 3rd have 100K tokens not 1M ones
jagged nimbus
Looking at others in my bracket its looks to be bracketed between Ops 32 - 35
abstract gate
I'm assuming there's no official word on how many days of armadas there will be?🐂 💩
meager galleon
Nope, didn’t even know they would be a thing 🙈
abstract gate
They aren't a thing...unless you class a monumental waste of 1k directives and 150minutes "a thing"
Also judging by the alb we can expect 2 more days of data 🐂 💩 ?
south arrow
40 plus only top 3 get rewards
abstract gate
3 days of mining 725k data per day (minimum) is a bit much tbh...that's 1 month of credit conversion at max rep. I haven't even converted the last giant batch they asked for ffs
meager galleon
Well, looking at the Events atm, Domination is for the BattlePass points and the pattern has been every 2 days something by different (from Borg and Augment) so am expecting different BattlePass event today
jagged nimbus
I reckon im one of a few that doesnt actually mind the change to data mining - i never mined data before now im doing it on a regular basis 🙈
meager galleon
That would have the Data event running alongside what ever else is new today
jagged nimbus
Most players ive talked to thinks its a terrible change
meager galleon
And then we find out if the Armada event also resets or if it was a one off tester
These are my observations
abstract gate
Yeah battle pass is np...not worried about that. These bs filler events (specifically armadas) are the issue.
meager galleon
Not really filler events, when have you known three different events to run side by side like this ? Not often
You don’t have to compete in data or armada events
jagged nimbus
My only issue with putting the data mine event with armadas is its tricky searching for armadas whilst trying to refresh a data node every 10s
abstract gate
Data is fine as a standalone event...it's too much when it's alongside anything else
raw zenith
all you have to do is find and launch armada, in the 14 min it takes to complete youll be halfway done with mining event lol
meager galleon
Kindve disagree. I prefer this data mining over the old style - not that it doesn’t need improving or tweaking still... its not too difficult to split it into some bursts or set aside some time now and then
But again, you’re not technically forced to do the data one when there is two other different events you can participate in if you want (ye ye Dom isn’t really an activity)
abstract gate
@meager galleon that might work for you...some of us have other/better things to do with our time
meager galleon
Then why complain if you have better things?
Your choice is to do the events or not, you have Domination and Armadas that take relatively little engagement comparatively
abstract gate
If refinery and rss production wasn't utter 💩 I'd agree that events are optional....they are 💩 though so events aren't
Those zeta tokens will be critical for next outlaw officer event making them a needed resource
Otherwise yeah I'd skip data for sure
robust vapor
I like the data changes because I have better things to do than mine data for hours, or fight over only a handful of mines with having to do the event..
abstract gate
Like I said I'm largely for the data changes, I'm against lumping a data event in with 2 other events
robust vapor
Data one was easiest for me by far 🤔 Armadas I just ignored, domination I'm too cheap to upgrade my officers 😂
abstract gate
Dom plus data wasn't a problem...faction hunt plus data could be though...fh seems likeliest for tonight given what's already gone.
Fh + armadas + data is a recipe for discord meltdowns tbh...that's a 💩 load of screen time
meager galleon
I’d rather have too much to do and be able to skip certain things if I wanted to than not have anything available
Like I’ve not done any Armadas because I really can’t be bothered searching for them or launching for sake of it on already taken ones
sage nova
where are epic armadas at?
dusk cape
The armada event is a bad event , to borg armada. You spend just to much time waiting for new armadas to show up.
robust patio
fickle sphinx
It really makes it hard to want to do the armada event when there is a 30+ second delay of seeing if there is one already started at the spot. I understand a 5 second or less lag.... but 30 seconds to sometimes minutes! And then the credits are just wasted. At least let us have the credits back if the armada is destroyed and it gets canceled. Or give us a way to cancel the armada ourselves so that we can get the credits back. And don’t see this as just a random complaint but a complaint with some solutions.
drowsy viper
@abstract gate the 1.3M data I mined without barely effort and during data events, strongly disagree with you. It’ll be weeks until I spend all the data mined during these events
robust patio
@drowsy viper So another 2 days of it will mean a month of not mining.... until it drops again next week
And now I have maxed my botany bay, which was a pointless exercise as lower level ones mine just as fast now, I don't need to buy plutonium....
shrewd totem
That isnt really true
drowsy viper
Exactly, which I’m perfectly fine. I didn’t like mining data before. Try having to mine 24k of each G3, 28k lat and 50k data every day, with only 3 docks. It’s a pain
shrewd totem
You still mine faster because you have max BB compared to those people with low tier BB
It can be seconds but still faster🤷♂️
drowsy viper
I’m 18s to empty a Yarda mine with my T6 BB, and I’d love having a max BB and refresh faster
shrewd totem
Max BB is like 5-7 seconds I think
robust patio
@shrewd totem Yeah sorry, I get the 3700 1 sec faster than a tier 3...
hazy stag
it is depending on research and Joaquin level
drowsy viper
The problem is that the refresh should be offered with a single click
Not having to warp out and in
shrewd totem
You can run in circles. Jump from a node to another. Will click less but a little more time will be spend
drowsy viper
Tried and it’s more boring
drowsy viper
Good point
fervent folio
it makes it easier to do something else, with the extra travel time between nodes combined with the time to drain I can send another ship to hit a hostile and switch back
and the less clicks too
drowsy viper
Im hoping they’ll do that with latinium too. But will screw up latinium rush event
shrewd totem
Hmm
drowsy viper
Im seriously considering using data mining as a strategy to fall asleep
That should say everything
shrewd totem
Lat is tricky because it is more valuable than data I don't think Scopely will make mining it easier anytime soon
fervent folio
agreed
they won't do it to Lat, especially because you can buy Lat
you can't buy Data I don't think
shrewd totem
Nah you cant
drowsy viper
Why you can’t buy a slave or npcs to automatise your mining? 😂
shrewd totem
Slavery is illegal!😅
fervent folio
this is your chores for the week kid, go mining for an hour a day
fervent folio
mining data, an hour a day would give more than enough Data I would think, yeah, it's not enough for G3 stuff
but that can still be done mostly idle
robust patio
Ah well, at least mining event is completed now..... wait what?? Another 2 days.... ffs
shrewd totem
It is enough if you have a max fac miner😅
drowsy viper
I meant npcs, not real people. I mean I’d love to put some of my useless office in a mining ship and send them to work non-stop for the rest of their lives in a mining colony.
Or to take over with my alliance over an entire galaxy system and put mining taxes
shrewd totem
@robust patio just skip it if you dont want to. Rewards are crap anyway
drowsy viper
Anyone here played Final Fantasy tactics? The alliances takes over certain systems and that gives you rewards
That would be a feature worth to see here, and it would include looooot of PvP
robust patio
Yeah, its all about the 200 zeta tokens and 100 indi credits..
drowsy viper
No one thinks would be a good idea?
fervent folio
yeah, system control mechanics would be pretty cool, if your Alliance has more ships in a system than everyone else you get a bonus
drowsy viper
GTA had it too
shrewd totem
Anything related to PvP is a good idea for me😂
drowsy viper
Yes. Why there isn’t not a single zone control mechanism implemented here? It has already everything it needs to work, people, lifetime lasting alliances, diplomatic relations and factions
Top alliances could also lose to an army of middle alliances by having to divide their forces and having all their territories challenged at once
And some claimed systems could have respawning hostiles against enemy alliances
Oh would be so cool
fervent folio
I put it in #💭-suggestions
shrewd totem
Knowing Scopely,they would find a way to turn that idea into a very boring useless feature
drowsy viper
They get good events too, from all the trying
abstract gate
Pvp is broken only the griefers and trolls actually enjoy it, that's why most servers have roe and coc
drowsy viper
You can simply add a limit to the amount of territories you can claim
To avoid abuse
And big alliances would prefer to claim higher level systems with better rewards anyway
shrewd totem
I am not a griefer nor a troll but I still enjoy PvP🤷♂️
fervent folio
or like I put in #💭-suggestions , mini events that last like 30 minutes. Whoever has the most PD or most ships in the system when timer runs out or something like that wins something
nova valley
they used to do that... burst events... that lasted for 1 hour.
drowsy viper
That’s not a zone control system but okay
fervent folio
of course, if they did that, they would need to announce the times of the mini-events ahead of time
shrewd totem
Yeah what happened to burst events🤔
drowsy viper
What I’m saying is a built in system for zone control. There’s already one in place, involving factions
fervent folio
how is that not Zone Control....you control the zone by killing other Alliances ships so you control the system
drowsy viper
Last only 30 min
abstract gate
Great idea, create events to terrorise the peaceful players...that won't result in mass quitting at all
fervent folio
peaceful players can avoid those systems for 30 whopping minutes
shrewd totem
Is there anything you like?
drowsy viper
The idea behind it is that you claim a territory and you get income mats from that system, then you could lose the territory when challenged
shrewd totem
Complaining about everything wont change anything
drowsy viper
You’re a bit negative @abstract gate I’m from a ranked 18 alliance so obviously what I’m proposing takes in account more middle alliances than top
fervent folio
and really, unless your Alliance is sending a bunch of warships there, you'd likely be left alone. If your Alliance only has 2-3 miners in a system, you would not be affected so not a target
abstract gate
I give props to the positive changes too...you just don't see it as often because it happens so infrequently
shrewd totem
Havent seen one🤷♂️
drowsy viper
Let’s say that you can claim max 3 systems, I’m pretty sure all systems will be distributed equally between alliances, and only special systems with good rewards will be a reason for fight. An avoidable fight
abstract gate
And how else do we get the broken mechanics fixed if we don't complain? Your logic is flawed
shrewd totem
You are complaining about new ideas.....
drowsy viper
Man, there’s a difference between justifiable complaints and simple whining
shrewd totem
New ideas that arent and maybe even wont be in the game. But still chose to complain about it
drowsy viper
Yeah lol, you’re complaining about something that will never see the light of day
shrewd totem
No diplomatic stuff please

29-30 I can do 25ish in one hull
but my researches and stuff are not complete for 21 yet, so those are more numbes for a 20

I do not believe so, and it's not a big deal, there's still 15 days left in event, later milestones, larger amount of points needed

I just heard about this one, but apparantly there was a bug/glitch on the first points event that some people completed it twice or something like that

stray wadi
So I’ve done all the outlaw events to date. Shouldn’t I have hit the milestone with the 40 keys in it today? Unless I did the math wrong but I thought I’d have more than enough. Instead I’m 800 points short.
Another player the same level as me in my alliance made it to the milestone. We haven’t changed levels since before the outlaws event
(We are both lvl 31) ergo, not the swarm...was hoping to do the new missions this evening.
robust vapor
@stray wadi did the other player do the faction hunt event before they fixed it this morning?
stray wadi
Hmm. She might’ve done some of it. I remember her saying points weren’t counting so she was going to try later but I don’t know if she just heard that from others or tried herself.
At least the data mining event isn’t tied to it this round. 😂
robust vapor
Ask the question maybe, it sounds like they may have reset the events this morning (I was asleep, but that's what I'm hearing) and then they could have earned additional points from the first half of the event prior to the reset.
stray wadi
Ah. I was not aware. I guess that makes sense...in a chaotic sort of way. 😂 thanks!
robust vapor
I don't have it as concrete information, so if she confirms that's what happens I'd like to know still 😆 but they've done it before in other events, nice when you're on the receiving end.

@gleaming ore That's correct. You won't complete a milestone every day, especially as we get near the end of the event
gleaming ore
How about this? this is a screenshot from a friend @earnest citrus
earnest citrus
Apparently there was some sort of issue that required an event reset, so some people managed to get extra points. You won't get anything for the extra points, except maybe unlocking some milestones a wee bit earlier.
gleaming ore
🤷♀️
tidal storm
@gleaming ore I have same issue ..fairness is not part of Scopely business plan...
raw zenith
it was a glitch that resulted in some getting extra points. You still have time to get all points to unlock each milestone in time
gleaming ore
In short, you are telling me that I have to earn more points than others to get the same rewards...
robust vapor
I mean it's a good thing that you haven't already gotten more points than some other people were able to🤫
And yes, rather than removing points and the obvious problems that could potentially (likely for Scopely even) cause, they let them keep the extra points so that they are now 1k ahead in an event day that awarded 12k points 🎉
Which would also be less than the additional points most of us earn for no good reason over the lower level players..

As long as the quests are completable before the event for completing them ends as F2P i don't really care - think scopely know by now that the server would burn down if they made it so that all 10 milestones weren't completable without buying points..
robust vapor
People are worried more about the mission event i think.
abstract gate
Assuming you do fh in a timely manner tonight you will have around 20+ hrs in which to collect and complete the final mission chain...totally doable
Hell you don't even have to finish fh, just need 800 pts before you can crack on with the mission
robust vapor
Your logical assessment of the situation is unsatisfactory, we demand blood of Scopely execs and free epic ships! 😆
abstract gate
Seems to be the general consensus whenever I respond to questions here tbh...think I'll just stop trying to be helpful.
fervent folio
In Borg Arcs 1-3 was the Mission Event able to be completed as F2P? i don't think so. I think it was intended to be a bonus for those who purchased points. I have no problem with this myself as those that pay should get a little more. I've heard it said, because I'm too low to even have that Event, that the rewards from it are not that great anyway.
abstract gate
Arc 1, no it wasn't...arc 2, honestly don't remember...arc 3 yes it was
They adjusted on the fly after the backlash from f2p in arc 1
And those that pay were/are already getting extra through the battle pass/premium packs in every arc
fervent folio
well, the premium rewards is one purchase, the points are a separate purchase. One gives you all the extra rewards from Battle Pass, the other gives early access to the Missions.
abstract gate
That's how they tried to rationalise it in arc 1 and we collectively told them to go fk themselves...hence missions now being doable within their associated event's timeframe
fervent folio
well, honestly, I don't have a dog in this argument because I'm only 21. My beef with it is, I've been able to complete all the missions as 21 but I do not even have access to that event. Only 28+ got the event...even though you are able to complete them at a lower level.
dapper drum
just some dil,trit and gas
abstract gate
Top milestone at lvl38...you ain't missing much
At lvl21 that might seem like a lot but trust me at 38 it's negligible
I agree they need to do something for the lower lvl's so they aren't excluded but that's a separate issue
fervent folio
Yeah, it's not necessarily about the rewards for me. It's about feeling left out, which yeah, is an entirely separate issue. I'd even be ok if they lowered those rewards for the lower levels to something more suited to our level.
abstract gate
I'm sure scopely sees it as a carrot to motivate you to grow but the only way to grow and progress at that kind of pace is $'s. It's not even subtle tbh...seize the play is scopely's motto but I'm fairly sure that's a typo and should read seize the pay
fervent folio
pretty normal for a f2p game, pay or grind
and yeah, the grind is real in this game
abstract gate
There are more aggressively monetized games out there but very few that are as shady about it as scopely.
fervent folio
I really don't see anything shady about it
raw zenith
its finally friday woo hoo
abstract gate
No event calendar, unreliable and misleading information, massive paywalls, constantly shifting goalposts...I could go on but you get the idea
fervent folio
yeah, that's why they recently added a new server...because the game is shrinking not growing right?

Every content rollout since armadas has seen a wave of quitting on my server
Accompanied by a wave of spenders going f2p

i didn't start at beginning on June but is it possible to complete it anyway or do i just have no chance?
£20 battle pass seems steep too
dapper drum
requires 15 days of events to complete the full rewards
as long as you didn't miss the good payout events
abstract gate
Depends how many days you've missed...it's worth going as far as you can but I wouldn't put actual money in
abstract valve
I'm completing all my dailies every day so far, think I'm on like day 5
abstract gate
The battle pass is retroactive so wait until you know how far you'll get
abstract valve
i'm not collecting the rewards at the moment because they're far more than i can even hold
abstract gate
You can hold an infinite amount of rss, your generators will just shut down when the warehouses are "full"
abstract valve
sorry that's kinda what i meant
wasting all this time upgrading the generators and they aren't ever used lol
abstract gate
Yeah but they don't really add much anyway so...
More or less been like this since around lvl26...you get used to it (currently 38)

Is anyone else missing 800pts until the next event threshold?
I don’t think I’ve missed any points but just wanted to check

800 short is correct yes

@abstract valve Once you pull a good raid or do a few missions those generators will shut down for good or until you forget to shield. 🌞

Last 3 events I completed I didn't need the battle pass credits, the ones I've earned from those previous events and the ones earned in the Faction Hunt today are all extra; Will there be something offered in the future for those with extra battle pass tokens?

Based on what they did for Borg Points last time, nope

@twilit imp stop with the damm data events. Some of us are sitting on a few million data. But can only refine 71k a day.

Don’t do the mining event if you don’t like it. Stop acting like a pricess
merry fulcrum
If I were to ignore any generators though, it would be the dil generators, they cost the most trit
drowsy viper
@hazy storm the data events are fine, they give rep for those who haven’t maxed it and want to advance quicker! Ignore them if you don’t want to mine!
hazy storm
@drowsy viper how about scopely let's us convert more of it. Or the fix the damm broken nodes. Seem the break and show my ship mining it when it not
winged tulip
It's silly though. To get in top 20 on leaderboard i've mined 4.5m data, which by my maths is enough data for about 2 months of handins. They've made augment space busy again but it'll be an absolute desert after the events end, no one will need to visit again for ages!
drowsy viper
@hazy storm do you want to get to max rep in one week when people needed months ?
I mean I’d love to advance faster, but I wouldn’t go as far as demand it
@winged tulip one thing less to mine lol
Lot of people left the augments abandoned because if was too painful. I’m perfectly happy with not needing to mine data in months 😂
brisk yacht
I'm lacking 800 points in the Battle Pass event to claim milestone 8 rewards although I have previously completed every event for this points. It seems that other players don't have this problem. I have reported a bug through support email, no response whatsoever in almost 24h. New cycle of events has started and I'm worried what will happen when I complete them. I have purchased Elite Battle Pass also and fell cheated not only of free in game rewards but now also my money. Is there different channel where I can also report this problem?
random tide
@brisk yacht there are numerous causes to this
merry fulcrum
Domination events
random tide
Certain levels get more points from swarm event that occurred Sunday and Monday. You can also buy 20k and 50k points for $20 and $50 USD. And lastly, you also get points from buying the pack to unlock the new officer. Not a glitch. Some people have spent money and you haven't and some are higher level.
merry fulcrum
I can't get those final missions done in time due to not being able to compete a domination event 💩
random tide
Additionally, the event is like 24 days and you don't have to to complete every event every day to unlock all tiers. You jusy have to do the majority.
hollow fossil
Im at 118000 points in the battle pass, there is 14 days to go. Nothing to even start to get excited about
random tide
118,000 as well. Im level 26. Anyone who hasn't bought points and is near my level should have 118k. I have missed 0 events
brisk yacht
I don't understand. If this matters I'm level 29 and there was no mention that there is requirement to be higher(or any level) level to claim all rewards, if there is where can I see information? I have just looked in store offer nothing is mentioned. There was enough points and I have collected them ALL to get milestone 8, yet 800 wasn't calculated somewhere. Don't understand how my problem should be resolved with more money?
hollow fossil
@brisk yacht Your missing there is 14 days to go
random tide
All of these packs offer points for the event. Anyone who bought them will have more points than you. You will still be able to earn all the rewards if you continue to do the events
You do not need to spend more money. You'll get milestone 8 tomorrow. Then a few days for 9 and many days for 10.
Its not 1 milestone a day
robust vapor
You're not missing 800, you have additional points from the Swarm events.. and the people in front benefited from a glitch and subsequent reset in the events yesterday, and you can still do the mission event today if you earn just 800 points (do the first 2 milestones in one of the events). Stress less.
teal jackal
🙄
There are 14 days left people. different levels get different points. Just keep doing the dailies
brisk yacht
Anyways follow-up. Just received email from support letting me know that I have surplus points and that through following events I will be able to unlock all milestones. Thank you all. Regards.
robust vapor
Like I said you have additional points, no one likes to believe me 😋 I wish they'd fix that, not fair on lower level players.
shy dove
Anyone else not make the monthly unlikely partnership event even tho they did all the daily events? I'm short 8000 points. I'm lvl 27 some one said it might be lvl dependent? Is that true?
People say ill still finish but I wanted the monthly mission event.
Which ends today
So I'll miss out on dillithiam reward
short patio
Got this far but have gave up on this game completely, so farewell all but I am done🖖
shrewd totem
🤔
drowsy viper
@short patio you have one milestone more than me even If I completed all the events, what’s the problem?
Why don’t you just buy packs that give all the resources without milestones ?
short patio
Just bored of it all now had a good run but no feeling for the game anymore.. plus no cash, spent most of my money on this event to get to last 4 milestones
Plus I cashed everything and put it in contributions and scrapped most ships
boreal geyser
Scopely is notorious for not letting the F2p players finish the events... they want you to finish by buying the packs...
robust vapor
That's pretty much it, yeah. However players over a certain level get extra mystery points in the swarm events and were still able to do it F2P..

The Champion faction rep, does anyone knows if that one will lock in, similar like it does when reaching 10M faction rep?
earnest citrus
No lock-in at Champion, only 10m
tawdry kindle
K, ty 👍🏾
analog yarrow
@short patio I'm not sure what the issue is, there's still 2 weeks left on the event... if it's anything like the borg you'll finish the event F2P with a couple of days to spare which allows you to miss one or two events and still finish.
shrewd totem
He wants it NOW!
deep hare
Lol @ some people
abstract gate
Events can all be completed by doing dailies. F2P should be doing them anyways to grow. I have guys that can’t do swarm Sunday. Then I ask if the do their swarm dailies and they say no. Well.....
drowsy viper
Swarm dailies are only worth if you have a ship strong enough to complete it with minor repairs, for the trit tokens
abstract gate
Easy lvl that Franklin. Easy farm for free. Pike capt with Moreau and tlann. Put it on horizon and go to lower swarm systems and fill up on modules. Rinse and repeat

seriously <@&509690795536941056> when are you going to fix the refrsh data nodes issue, its getting worse now. im getting auto kicked off nodes now and then the node is jammed
im litetterally flying from node to node at this point get 1 cycle done (wait for mine depleted notice) then get autokick from node and node is jammed
the whole server is having the same issues
abstract gate
Work with one other from different alliance. And just go in circle on node tree. When you attack each other’s ghost, fixes node. Easy peasy (obvi better if they just fixed it)

If u attack a 0 data node it resets it

The Champion faction rep, does anyone knows if that one will lock in, similar like it does when reaching 10M faction rep?
@tawdry kindle faction rep locks again at 1B. I only know of one person at that level, but they confirmed it locks
pulsar solstice
I think, short of a client update, you aren't going to see much of a fix.
Swarms get difficult to do if you aren't getting modules to upgrade the ship, especially as your op level goes up and you don't invest time in getting the modules.
Also having the right crew when you are trying to do the biometal Daily rewards helps. Hostile Hunting Crews with T'laan makes it less of a wear and tear on your trit.
Max Tier Franklin with Pike/Moreau/T'Laan at Op level 30, you can take down 5 to 6 L35 Swarm ships. But without the right crew, even a Max Tier Franklin will be hard pressed to kill 1 L35 Swarm ship. And it is around L30, the Heroic Swarm ships you have to hit to get 10 points in, is an L35 Swarm ship.
What really kills most players is if you rush your Operations Levelling, since this and Rep Levels affect what your 'viable' targets are. Higher you are in Rep or Operations Level, the higher the targets you need to hit. If you aren't putting resources into your ships or better ships, you are going to hit some serious walls in your dailies cause your ship power is being sacrificed.
robust vapor
If they have Pike there's much less issues with ops level, you can hit 39's with a 400k Kumari without much bother even 😴
And at ops 36 it's the same 32 for 2 points or 35 for 10 points, but you need 525 points. Not maxed yet so I can kill 1 X 35, or 44 X 32's.. so 50 trips to 35's or 6 to 32's. Easy choice and frankly it's not that bad if you break it up throughout the day.
And faction hunt events I've often done with the low 30's hostiles. Takes a little longer than hitting 38-40, but easily doable, cheaper on repairs, and often less competition for the hostiles 😴
robust vapor
Pike will change your life 😅

@twilit imp maybe for these pvp event only allow those type of ship into that system such when the Ahole show up with 5 million ship to kill folks

Whatever Dev came up with the new data mining scheme should be forced to sit and mine enough data even for one week. Let’s see how he likes it.

I don't kind the jelly fish on the pvp event. I don't have one. My Talla can take out some jellyfish and it loses to others. I can run and around a bit and pick off some weak ones. No big deal....
And uggh on the warp distance - I had to relocate for this event. Hopefully the pocket I moved to will have some good raiding later
nova valley
@wary trail to mine enough data for a week takes about 20-25 minutes.
crisp jasper
I have months of data now from this event
They need to add a higher level conversion for data than just 71k for 7000 credits. Maybe 250k for 15000 credits, so we can actually get these officers. I have done data mining nearly every day and I'm still 600+ khan shards short

target practice without a jelly is stupid

I'd certainly be doing better with a jellyfish, but I'm getting plenty of points with my talla. It's the phindras who should really be crying... They can't do anything

hmmm... dude. it's a videogame, not an study on democracy.
that said.... shoudln't someone who paid have an advantage? in no scenario ever would someone who gets something for free be expected to get the same advantages as someone who paid for something.
thank your whales. without them you don't have a game to play.
merry fulcrum
Um, I can definitely tell you otherwise look at games like cod mobile, nothing is pay to win in there, I get everything through the effort I put into it
The simple fix is to change the jellyfish with the turas so everyone has a chance, and more people would Be inclined to participate in the event and have fun
It's also the inability to earn this ship
That's another reason some people are unhappy
It's a ship that doenst give an advantage anymore because virtually everyone has a 3* ship by now so giving a free jellyfish can also be seen as a move of good will towards the community and would probably make more people inclined to spend on your product
merry fulcrum
